(Dup. Cat. L6p. Eur. p. 246 (1844) ; Hampson, Fauna Brit. 

 Ind., Moths, iii. p. 219 (1895).) 



Tephrina verecundaria, sp. n. 



Brownish grey, with a slight violet tinge, irrorated with 

 fuscous. Basal area of primaries rather darker, limited by a 

 fuscous line, which is slightly angulated below costa; discal spot 

 black ; transverse line beyond the middle dark brown, curved 

 below costa ; the space between this line and the dusky waved 

 submarginal line, which is only distinct towards costa, is rilled 

 in with darker. Secondaries have a black discal spot and 

 dark brown central line, the latter bordered outwardly with 

 darker. Fringes of the ground-colour, preceded on the 

 primaries by a black dotted line and on secondaries by a 

 series of black lunules. Under surface whity brown, mottled 

 with fuscous on basal two thirds of primaries and half of 

 secondaries, and ochreous yellow on outer marginal area ; the 

 latter is limited by a fuscous line and traversed by a diffuse 

 fuscous band ; discal spot black on all the wings. 



Expanse 29 millim. 



Two female specimens from Chow-pin-sa, May and June. 



This species superficially resembles Macaria fiebesata, Walk.j 

 except that the transverse lines are not angulated. 



Hob. Western China.
